Looks like a great project.

Out of curiosity, what happened with the old small block setup when I quit on you?

So finally got my ride back from the shop, I mean Driveway Customs. Joe did one hell of a job on my ride. Not only did u have to shave my firewall, put my bags in, and paint some of my parts, but also started a new job and wife gave birth to a new addition to the family!!!!!! Joe, I appreciate everything and thanks 1,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone needs some work done, give Joe @ Driveway Customs a call!!!!
